Answer 1

I thought it was pokeweed too but it is not. This is a bush. That is  eatable But I won’t recommend that you eat it until you take it to a county extensions office for positive id.

Edible. Berries purplish-black, in groups on their own small stem. Late July-Sept. Plant has thick leathery leaves, usually forming dense thickets. Uncommon. Found primarily on Pirate Island, and a few other locations scattered around Sharingwood. This plant was a primary winter food for the coastal tribal peoples, who gathered them in large baskets then pressed and dried them in 3 foot long cakes.

Answer 3

those def. look like pokeberry in which case you should not eat them. only someone who is a certified herbalist should really handle them as they can be used for medicinal purposes if handled correctly. the pokeberry, roots and stems can be dried, cooked and boiled to create an herbal medicine mostly used as an anti-inflammatory.  

Answer 4

Well, I picked some wild blueberries today... and the leaves on the bush were alot smaller, and the berries didn't grow all together on a long stem like that, they were randomly scattered on the bush, and there wasn't any of that red color... Please be careful!!! I wouldn't eat those!!

Answer 5

This is what a real blueberrie bush looks like, I do not think it is what is in the pics.  Do not eat them!  However I could not find what exactley is in the pic.

Answer 6

Contact your local extension office.  I can't tell from your pictures exactly what it is.  It looks like poke-weed to me,  and poke-weed is VERY poisonous. Do not eat it until you are sure.

Answer 7

Yes, My parents grew blueberries professionally.  There are many varieties of blueberry plants.  Some are bushes, others grown low to the ground.  These are definatley blueberries.

Answer 8

It looks like the pic in the Wikipedia article, but I would make doubly sure.

Answer 9

DON'T EAT THOSE BERRIES!!!!

That is a pokeweed plant and the berries are very poisonous!  You'd end up with more than just a tummy ache if you ate them.
